- Meet Miss Nagano, the exquisitely crafted Japanese friendship doll with eyes of glass and skin of oyster shells. Dolls are an essential part of Japanese culture an ancient craft that dates back thousands of years. The Friendship Doll project was initiated in 1927 as an effort to improve relations between America and Japan. American and Japanese children exchanged dolls, like Miss Nagano, in honor of the annual Hinamatsuri (doll) Festival. Nine dolls visited Delaware in 1928 for a three-day stop at the Wilmington Public Library. Delaware Historical Society acquired Miss Nagano in 1928 from Emalea Pusey Warner (1853-1948), a prominent social reformer and leader in the Women's Movement in Delaware.
